Hi!

Took the plunge today and booked my first JY holiday to America's Golden West in November. Anybody out there going on the same tour?

Hi Sue

I'm going on this trip too and am really looking forward to it. It's my first holiday with Just You but after reading lots of the posts on this forum I am sure that I am doing the right thing. I am flying direct from Manchester.

Looking forward to meeting you.

Janet

Hello to all you lucky people going to America's Golden West in November, you will have a fantastic, wonderful time, I know this, because I did this particular tour in May this year, can't tell you the best bits, cos every day, it just gets better and better!!! but I guess if I had to choose any best bits, it would have to be the visit to Alcatraz and the flight over the Grand Canyon ~ so enjoy ~ wish I was doing it again!

Hi Janet.

Bit confused about travel arrangements, don't know about you! Received confirmation today that I will be flying from Manchester to Atlanta and then on to San Francisco. Also received message from Ben (editor) to say I will be flying from Manchester to Heathrow and getting on the flight there!!!

Hope you are still going from Manchester - apparently there's only the 2 of us flying from there!

Regards.

Hi Sue,

I have just caught this thread again, I am sorry I have confused you, I was only passing on information though, please send me your booking reference and I will get this confusion sorted out first thing!

Apologies again,

Kindest,

Ben

Hi Ben.

Booking Ref. is A253841.

Thanks for taking the time to sort this out for me!

Regards.

Hi Sue

This string of e-mails was confusing me too! My booking confirmation also shows that I am flying from Manchester to Atlanta and then on to San Francisco (which is what I wanted).

Ben - can you confirm that this is still correct. My booking reference is A250852.

If we are the only two flying from Manchester it will be a good idea to meet at the Just You rep so we can get ourselves safely through the flight transfers. I've gone through Atlanta airport quite a few times so we should be OK.

Hello Janet/Sue,

My sincerest apologies, I totally got the wrong end of the stick, you are flying direct from Manchester to Atlanta, you will need to collect your luggage and they re-check it in for your onward flight to San Francisco, I'm really sorry that I confused you, I confuse myself all the time!

Anything else, please just ask,

Kindest,

Ben

Hi, I am thinking of booking this trip. Never travelled alone before and a bit nervous but so so tempted, it looks great. One question - did any of you pre book the optional excursions? Not sure what to do as don't want to pre book and then find very few others have.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thankyou! :thumbup:

Hi.

I too was really nervous at first, this being the first time I have travelled alone, but since I have taken the plunge and booked I am really looking forward to it!

I haven't booked any excursions yet either. Like you, don't know if anybody else will be going on them. I'm sure there'll be lots of opportunities once there to book these trips.

Let me know what you decide.

I was planning on pre-booking Universal Sudios and the 3 in 1 Canyon Country before I go and then booking the San Francisco Bay cruise and the Palm Springs Ariel Tramway when I'm there. I want to see as much as I can while I'm there. I'm not too bothered about the Rat Pack night in Las Vegas. I thought that I'd see what everyone else was doing that night.

Although I'm really looking forward to the holiday I still get a bit nervous as it's the first time I've travelled by myself. I think that quite a few of us will feel the same, but I bet we all come back wanting to book another Just You holiday.

Hello Lynda

Just think, in 12 weeks time we'll be on our way! I've booked into the Radisson on the Sunday night as I have to travel over by train from Selby. Looking forward to meeting you.

Hi Janet,

I too am staying over at the Radisson on the Sunday night having driven up on the afternoon from Stockton-on-Tees. I see another lady is thinking of staying over - perhaps we could all meet up on the Sunday evening?

Hi Janet

I just can't wait!

I've also booked myself into the Radisson on the Sunday night. I'm travelling from Leeds and not sure about how I'll get there yet. I plan to get there no later than 5pm and really excited about the whole trip. There sounds to be some amazing people on the tour and we're all in the same boat (so to speak!)

sooooo looking forward to meeting you (all)

Hi Shell

I'm flying from Manchester on 12 November. Really excited now. I have already prebooked the Rat Pack etc. tour - I will probably never get back to that part of the world so will pack as much as I can into this trip.

looking forward to meeting you !
